Health Maintenance / Manager Screening At FirstMed Centers In Budapest
How often you need a physical exam or health maintenance visit?<br> All adults should visit their health care provider from time to time, even if they are feeling healthy. Having an annual health maintenance exam is an excellent opportunity to take charge of your health.

Regular health care checks may help find problems early or prevent health problems before they occur. Many problems if found early may be easier to treat and less likely to pose serious risks to your health.

During your visit the doctor will:

Screen for certain diseases.
Assess risk of future medical problems.
Discuss current lifestyle and encourage healthy choices.
Update vaccinations.

Even if you feel fine, it is still important to regularly see your health care provider to check for potential problems. For example, most people who have high blood pressure don’t even know it. The only way to find out is by having blood pressure checked regularly. Likewise, high blood sugar and high cholesterol levels often do not produce any symptoms until the disease becomes advanced.

*** Hungarian regulations do not permit family practitioners to conduct pelvic exams / pap smears, therefore we offer all women who partake in the Health Maintenance Exam to add-on an annual gynecological exam with a 50% reduction in price (HUF 18,850) and cannot be combined with any other special pricing offer. If you wish to schedule them on the same day please ask for the first appointment of the day because of the fasting.
